The e-scooter providers have been approved by TfL and follow strict safety guidelines.   The e-scooters offer our visitors, workers, and residents at Canary Wharf another great sustainable way to get around the Estate.  

How to hire a rental electric scooter

You can rent the operators’ e-scooters through their mobile phone apps. You will need to:

  • Download the app of your chosen operator
  • Complete the registration process including verifying your age and driving licence
  • Complete the mandatory in-app training before your first ride

You will then be able to find an e-scooter. Use a QR code or vehicle ID displayed on the e-scooter to unlock that e-scooter in the relevant operator’s app.

The rental trial in London has been equipped with safety features including:

  • Riders must be 18 or over and hold at least a provisional driving license
  • The speed limit of trial e-scooters is capped at 12.5mph – they will automatically reduce speed to 8mph in ‘go slow’ areas. The trial e-scooters also come to a safe stop in ‘no-go’ zones to ensure they can be ridden safely
  • All first-time riders must to do mandatory training on how to ride safely in London
  • The trial e-scooters are maintained to a high level and have large wheels to help navigate road surfaces more easily
  • Lights at the front and rear of the vehicles are always on throughout any rental
